Biography
Kim Ye Rim, known professionally as Yeri, is a South Korean singer, dancer and member of RED VELVET (레드벨벳). She graduated from Hanlim Arts High School. Before debuting, she was selected by SM Entertainment (SM엔터테인먼트) in 2011 during a public audition. She became part of SM Entertainment's pre-debut group SM Rookies and also appeared in the MVs for Henry's "1-4-3" and SHINEE's "Why So Serious". She made her debut in March 2015, joining as the group's new sub-vocalist, sub-rapper and maknae with the EP "Ice Cream Cake". RED VELVET had debuted 7 months prior, but SM decided that adding a fifth member would be the best option moving forward. As she was already a trainee in the company, she knew all her groupmates, so it was easier for her to fit in.
